CHAPTER XX
RANK WATSON and Al Peters
F
vera waiting outstda the en
trance to the West Park botol
whoa Larry drove up.
"Tony ond Tommy are Inside,"
said Watson. "Tony's up at the
entrance to the suite, and Tommy
Is with the manager. The peo
plo'd checked out just about 30
minutes before we got here. The
manager psysthey Bocmed to be
In a hurry."
"I'll bet thcywere," said Larry.
' Thoy entorod the lobby and
crossed to the desk, where
Tommy Watormwas talking with
the manager, a worried-looking
Individual In a morning coat
"I hope you'll be able to con
duct your investigation quietly,"
ihe said. "It would be a bad
jthlng for us to havoiany publicity
labout this."
Yes, I Imagine ISwould," said
' iLarry. "One goodway to avoid
things like that Is to be a little
careful aboutiwho younrent rooms
to"
' ' He took the 1 key,; which the
manager handedlhlm.l glanced at
' i the number, saldcurlly, "You
needn't come with bus, and led
the other agents tojthe elevator.
' ' They went uptanoHfound Tony
, -LaRocco loungins at1 the apart
imont entrance. Larry unlocked
the door and they all went inside,
closing the door after (them.
The' suite conslatediot a large.
ornately-furnished living room,'
'.two bedrooms, j an elaborately
tiled bathroom,-, and a small kit
chenet and Ullnlus alcove. Larry
looked aboutbim appreciatively.
i. "They did themselves well.
:these.b!rd5.1"Th9 said. Tommy
..Waters' nodded
ii They crossed the living room
'. and entorod Uiie larger of the
bedrooms. Iti was in disorder.
The twin bodstwere unmade, the
drawers oborcaus csd dressing
tables stood wpon, a tray conlaln
'lng highballs iglassea - with the
dregs still In ttiiem stood on a
Utile table bctvoen the beds, and
a crumpled sevsweer lay on the
; floor nearby. There was a dis
carded seek Us onto, dresser, end
: a crauipled Ehcetyof wrapping
pipur bf-sido it
"Nothing much ' to see here,"
observed Larry. -"Lot's look far
ther." The bathroom was similarly
dluordarcd. The other bedroom
seswed act to have . been occo
, pied, and waa la apple pie order;
but the dicing alcove table still
bore pZatoa and cups with the re
cnics cf a je1, and empty bot
tles staoa on iho shelves of the
llltlo fcitchessi.
Litrry iasreetcd the t alcove
table. " V
"Set for three," he said.
"Looks like supper rather than
Breakfast Well, well soon find
out". .
r A ROCCO was inspecting the
- used glasses and empty bot
tles in the kitchenet He looked
' op to remark, "Some swell prints
here."
"Good," said Larry. "Get 'em."
' LaRocco got out the apparatus
from the little bag Larry had
; brought with him and went to
work. Larry continued bis ln-
gpectlon of the dining alcove,
while. the other men explored the
living room.
"This stuff came from the kit
chen downstairs." he said at last.
, "They , didn't prepare it them
lelves. Lot's get the manager np
here.".
One of the agents reached for
the phone and summoned that in
dividual. He arrived in a tew
minutes, still wearing his look of
apprehensive and Injured Inno
cence. . .
"I want to know when these
people last had an order from
the kitchen," said Larry. "Find
out for me and send up t the
: waiter who served it."
The manager bowed and left,
to return a little later with a
waiter. ' ;;- v '
The waiter explained that he
bad served supper for three fn
the apartment the night before,'
at about 9:30. Two men and
one -woman were In the party;
the woman and one of the men.
were tho people who occupied the
suite regularly; the other man
was a,. visitor who frequently,
came to the apartment but never
spent the night there.
Larry took out a rogue's gal
lery picture of Wlngy LewlB and
handed it to him with a ques
tion. The waiter looked at It
and nodded' slowly.
"I think so," ho said. "I can't
be quite sure. It looks like him,
though."
: "Did you notice his hands?",
asked Larry.
The waiter looked at him, un
comprehending; thon a light
. dawned : in his eyes and he
nodded. "Yes, yes," he said ex
citedly. "His left hand he had
but four fingers."
"That's him," said Larry, slip
ping the picture back In his pocket.
Lurry bent over the table. '
"Come hero, Tony," he said.
"8oe If you can got any prints off
tho silver." ...
He looked up at the waiter
speculatively.
"Do you romomber," ho asked,
"when yon laid' the places, did
fon happen to wipe oft the sil
ver with a napkln?":
Tho waiter looked at him
blankly, thon sbook his head.
"Thon your prints would prob
ibly be on It?" .
"Yea. And also, .perhaps, tho
prints of the bus boy wlio carrios
(h. silver (row jh pI5io whore i
It Is washed and ilrtei) to Rio raoft
from which wo collect It."
Larry turned to the manager.
"Find that bus boy and get
him up here," ho said. "Mean
whilo " turning back to the
waiter as tho manager left, "let
us have your flngorprlnts, will
you?"
Grinning broadly, the waiter
compiled. The bus boy, looking
very scared, was trought up a
moment later, and his prints like
wise wore recorded.
An hour later Larry made a
final survey of tho place, and
nodded to the others.
"Wore through here," ho said,
"Lot's go."
As they reached the lobby be
sought out the doorman.
"Where do the guests here
usually park their cars?" he
sked. The doorman named a
commercial garage a block away.
LaRocco and Tommy Waters
called a cab and went downtown,
while the other three hurried to
the garage. There Larry sought
out the manager and produced
once more his rpgucs' gallery por
trait of Wlngy Lewis.
The manager studied It thought
fully, then nodded.
"Looks like him," he said.
"What kind of a car did he
drive?"
"Well, he came here with a La
Place sedan." said the manager.
"Then about a week or ten days
ago he came In with a new one
a big 12-cylinder Frontenae. dark
blue with gold beading and blue
wire wheels."
He stuck his head out of the lit
tle wicket in his office, where they
were talking, and called a colored
attendant "Hey, Hank! Come
here, will you?"
Hank came over; a tall. Intelligent-looking
colored man in tan
breeches and puttees, a blue shirt
open at the throat Larry Immedi
ately asked him about Mr. Lewis's
big blue Frontenae: had he ever
noticed anything nnusual about it?
"Nothln" 'cept that it was awful
heavy," said Hank.
"Ah." said Larry softly. "How'd
you happen to notice that?"
"Well," said Henry, "he brought
It in one night an' told me to
change the oil, so I took it np on
the third floor and run it cn the
rack. 'Stead of havln' pits here we
got wooden racks, like Ho ges
tured with his hands to illustrate
their arrangement of inclined par
allel rails. "I run it' up on there,
and the first upright on the right
hand rail broke. Didn't break off
short Just cracked an' split I
back it off an' ibad a look at the
npright Good I strong piece of
wood; I never' thought anything
less'n a five-ton 'truck wou'.d crack
It So I took the car over to the
fillln' station on the comer, where
they got pits, an' had It done."
Beyond that Hank hd noticed
nothing. He was dismissed, and
Larry turned to the manager and
asked him when ; Lewis had left
that morning.
"Jnst about an hour ago," the
manager replied. "Bought 10 gal
lons of gas and shoved off, with a
girl in tho front eeat beside him
and BuKccoes in the back."
After) Jotting down the license
numberlof the ccr, and ascertain
ing that) Lewis had csKher asfced
for any read msps nar nwdo any
cssual remarks the woa'.d s!ts any
clew as to the UlrssilMi be had
planned toitake, Larry end bio men
returned ?othe federal bvtluing. Ia
his oalce Larry rcassem-lcd his
staff about ' him.
"Now," hes&ld, "we've get to
drift around town and ask ten mil
lion questions. Somewhere arcu".d
Dover there must be soircoso who
bos some sort yof notion whAt part
of the country theso people were
apt to head fori It's up to us to

(To BefContinacd)
Before the professional pilot
can get hlB scheduled air transport
rating, he must pass a test prov
ing that he is capable of flying
by the use ot his instruments and
radio alone.
There are 16 colleges and uni
versities In the United States giv
ing courses leading to degrees in
aeronautical engineering, with 74
having various courses in aero
nautics, but not offering degrees.
Airway beacons flash six times
minutes,. and by their regularity
they thus are identified by pilots
as part of the federal airway sys
tem.
On the newer airways, the bea
con lights are double-ended, with
two beams instead of one, and the
light Is so powerful that sites can
be 15 miles apart instead of 10.
Two parachutes must be worn
by pilots on exhibition or practice
jumps, usually one on the chest
and one on the buck.

KNUTE ROCKNETS Idea of t good quarter
back was a follow with plenty of personal
ity, a "cocky" altitude, and a good barking voice
so that when he yelled the signals the backlleld
didn't have the tendency tc be lulled to sleep.
In short, he was an inspirational leader.
Rock also thought that the two most Impor
tant things to teach a quarterback were when
not to pass and. "When in doubt, punt."
But football has changed, what with the ad
vent ot the lateral, and forward passes being
tossed almost anytimo.
- A quarterback Is boss of all situations. Ik
must either succeed on his own hook, or sxrts
manlike, take a rap for an error In judgment.
He must always he on tlie lookout for the
breaks, nnd must punL punt, punt, on a wet,
sloppy field until he gets one of those breaks.
